Death Star petition passes 25,000 signatures, now requires comment from the White House

Remember that Death Star petition? Well, it now has over 25,000 signatures. Apparently a lot of people really want to see a real-world Death Star.

The petition specifically has 26,447 signatures which now requires it to receive a response from the Obama administration. The President, unfortunately, doesn’t always respond directly to petitions though. The website hosting the petition, We the People, was created by the U.S. federal government to allow American citizens to take action on a number of different issues.

The mission to build a real Death Star began on November 14th and passed the 25,000 signature goal this Thursday. The creators of this petition state that the creation of a Death Star, an iconic planet-destroying space ship first imagined in the Star Wars universe, will spur job creation and aid in the United States national defence. If you think about it, that’s actually probably true.
